Hi Marcello71,
Sorry to hear your ordeal has not moved forward. It is hard after your first surgery goes bad and than no one knows what to do to fix it and you have to fight for every bit of help you can get to resolve the pain and suffering and get your life back.
Ramshaw, I think is up and practicing at UT not that much further than Kentucky. Enjoy a meal at Calhoun’s On The River before surgery and than get a place in the Smoky’s near Gatlinburg to recovery for the week. Dr G is in Cleveland or if you can get to see Goodyear, Chen, Yunis or Towfigh. It took me 2 years battling my insurance company and finally I had a chance to change insurance to see anyone in the nation but with a 4 figure deductible. My recovery after my second surgery by a real hernia expert was amazing. I could have flown home that day and I was climbing over a chain link fence within 6 days. I am sure not recommended but the Dr. never told me I couldn’t do it but I felt so much better. Your recovery and outcome could be very different.
Your comment about research was very interesting, since this also happened to me at the same facility but different department. Dr. said if I(Dr) could get research money I would learn and do this specific procedure. He would not even attempt it and this being a non invasive procedure that was being preformed at an athletic club in town at the time. Very world class!
Also in Wisconsin there is a little known law that protects state employees against lawsuits with a cap of a whopping $250,000. UW Health is part of the state of Wisconsin. So ask the Dr. if they would sign a waiver of their rights under that provision. If not your legal rights as a patient are greatly reduced, very few lawyers will take a malpractice case with such a small settlement.
Good luck. Beenthere!
